Chapter 1: Who we are/Woe are we

We are a four-piece emotional hardcore band.
We come from this city of half-hearted men and restless ghosts called Le Mans, France

This is our very substance

This is our hearts
This is our guts
This is our lives.


The song you are probably listening to is entitled The Shore.
It has been recorded by ourselves in the course of April 2010 in Le Mans but mixed and mastered by our friend François Kerjan (merci pour ta patience!).

TOUR INFOS
We are booking our third tour in Europe for October and November 2011. We are touring with our dear friends Nous Danserons Sur Vos Ruines (Fastcore – Le mans, FR), you can check them out there : http://nousdanseronssurvosruines.blogspot.com


We definitely need help to book this tour, so feel free to send us a mail if you think you can help us out by any means (if you know promoters, if you are a promoter yourself, if you know good places, clubs, squats, anything) it would be very much appreciated.
Get in contact at : acurseiam@gmail.com


We want to make things clear, we believe and stand for DIY values, so no fancy conditions, a place to play, a place to sleep, a vegan meal, some money to limit our losses on the van rental and gas and some nice people to talk and share with. You know the reality of our scene and of such an entreprise as a tour in a DIY frame.
Thank you very much.
Here's a rough idea of our tour as we saw it, nothing's definitive right now, so if you got something to offer which is not on our routing, feel free to tell us about it !

LP RELEASE
With regard to the last unfortunate event we had to face lately, meaning the closing down of the main label involved in the vinyl release of our LP Prequel For An Unforgiving Wreckage, we are starting anew our search for labels.
You can stream and listen to the whole LP in the BLOOD section. We are planning on five hundred black two-sided 12 inches, with DIY screenprinted sleeve and poster.
So if you are interested in helping us for the release, please send a mail here, and we will tell you more about it : acurseiam@gmail.com

Chapter 5 : Cheap literature

The Shore

I walked a path of a time now past
But I could still feel the marks of old joy and carelessness

I was all blank
Undecided between anger and sadness, reproaches and regrets
Undecided so that I felt nothing
Overwhelmed and defeated
Blank and hollow
Blank as a canvas I had to paint
Not knowing yet what range of color I should use.

Remember, remember,
It doesn't take a storm
To erase what you live
Just a thin rain in september

Remember, remember,
When you write these words on the shore
It only takes a wave
To erase what you have stood for

When intruders turn out to be invaders
When your own footsteps are not alone on the sand
I expected to see a miserable part of what I have lost
But the waves ate it away without a sign of mercy for me
As an old lost walk
As an old lost war
As an old lost word
As an old lost world

Remember, remember,
It doesn't take a storm
To erase what you live
Just a thin rain in september.
